Nutball Alert: Atheist Neil C. Reinhardt - This is something that I have been noticing lately and it is kind of the elephant in the room. We atheists have our fair share of wackos amongst our ranks. I bang on moderate theistsfornot standing up to fundamentalist theistsall the time. Which brings me to...S.E. Cupp. Possibly the most famous (and growing?) wacko atheist out there.PZ MyersandMr. Atheist have already posted good take downs of her so I won’t get into it myself. Giant spaceships to attack December 2012? - At one time I may have believed this. Check out Bad Astronomer’s Tweet Your Skeptical Journeystuff. Creationists And Climate Deniers Take On Teaching Climate Science In SchoolsThe following pic is a screen grab from a “friend’s” page on Facebook. I agree with the notion that not everyone needs to attend college; that part is true, but everything else about this is total crap. I am sure this is part of the home school movement which is propagated by fundamentalist Christians who despise history and science and want to destroy education so people will continue to believe their brand of bullshit. *steps off soap box*Ark Encounter- They are building a replica Ark in Kentucky near the Creation Museum. Adam said that he is tempted to donate just so people can stand in front of the thing and realize there is no way that all the species of Earth (x2) fit on there. Adam assumes the type of people that would visit this place will come around to rational thought. Silly Adam.

*sidenote: I think there may be a Left Hemispheres field trip to the Creation Museum in the spring of ‘11.

Welp, it’s the end of the year. A time when lazy media outlets the world over compile “Top Ten” lists and “Best of” lists since they are simple, easy and people will read them since we are simple and lazy. Considering we don’t do this for money...we will act no different! Here is your ”Best of” Monday Morning Stupid Quotes. Join us in rehashing things you have (hopefully) already read!

We compiled a larger Link Dump this week for all you godless heathens to read while stuck with family (or if you’re really lucky stuck without family) this weekend. Just remember: Not only did the Christians appropriate the holiday itself, but they stole loads of pagan traditions to celebrate the made up birthday of a man who was not only not divine, but likely never existed. Having said all that; at least Xmas is less sufferable than Easter. HUZZAH!

It's Not Healthy to Have an Imaginary Friend - 1) scientific evidence that prayers are beneficial is not that same thing asprayers being answered.seepsychosomatic2) Even though it is Fox; I am pretty sure everyone on that set wanted to point out how ludicrous the statement “I don’t think it’s very healthy to have an imaginary friend” and “If you have an imaginary friend there is something wrong with you” is coming from a priest.

Bloggers Note: A stupid quote page on Bill O'Reilly would just be too easy, so we've limited this post to his seasonal ratings grab of the "War on Christmas." Enjoy.

"Macy's, have done away with the Christmas greeting, "Merry Christmas."Now, all of this anti-Christian stuff is absurd, and may even be a bias situation. But the real reason it's happening has little to do with Christmas and everything to do with organized religion. Secular progressives realize that America as it is now will never approve of gay marriage, partial birth abortion, euthanasia, legalized drugs, income redistribution through taxation, and many other progressive visions because of religious opposition". ~From O'Reilly's Christmas Under Siege talking point page.
"Even Jewish people like Christmas." December 2004.
"Every company in America should be on its kneesthanking Jesus for being born. Without Christmas, most American businesses would be far less profitable. More than enough reason for business to be screaming 'Merry Christmas.' But many will not. They're afraid of being attacked by secular forces. It is now time to draw the line, ladies and gentlemen. We must decide whether we value our heritage or not. ~November 2005
After a caller stated: "I was politely told by all the postal workers that I spoke with at the various post offices that the only stamp they offered was 'Holiday Cookies.' " O'Reilly said, "I think it's the first time in my lifetime that the United States Postal Service has not had a spiritual stamp for people like you who would like them,"[this is] "insulting you and your beliefs ... because your spiritual stamp is in context to the celebration of Christmas." ~December 2005 (Madonna & Child stamps were in fact available at the time).
So look, that's on a very intellectual level, and it's behind the scenes. But these retailers are killing -- they're shooting themselves. I mean, they're killing themselves, because millions of people are just not going to shop in these places.

"I am glad George Tiller is dead. [Tiller was] "a brutal, murdering monster..." There may be a lot who would say, 'Oh that is mean. You shouldn't be that way,'" Drake said. "Well, no, it's an answer to prayer."

"I said to the Lord, 'Lord I pray back to you the Psalms, where it says that they are to become widowers and their children are to become orphans and so forth.' And we began calling for those imprecatory prayers, because he had obviously turned his back on God again and again and again,"-June 1st, 2009

When asked by interviewer Alan Colmesif there was anyone else who's death he prayed for, Drake replied, "The usurper that is in the White House is one, B. Hussein Obama. If he does not turn to God and does not turn his life around, I am asking God to enforce imprecatory prayers that are throughout the Scripture that would cause him death..."

"Imprecatory prayer is agreeing with God, and if people don't like that, they need to talk to God. God said it, I didn't. I was just agreeing with God."-June 3rd 2009
